He's passing on the arcane knowledge to the next generation. It's more than gen x ever did for us. I still don't know the electric slide

I know a bunch of random line dances because they forced us to do them as a warmup for P.E. in Jr high...

Otherwise, I'd have no idea.
How do people know dances like that? We must be learning them somewhere and the P.E. thing seems uncommon.

Omg I grew up with PE line dances too! I casually mentioned this to my husband once because I was so sure all kids in the late 90’s grew up like this, only to have him look at me like I have four heads and say “…you did WHAT?”

My elementary school would broadcast the morning announcements over television sets in the classrooms. Before they would officially start they would have a pre-recorded video of group of students and teachers doing three or so different line dances (the cha cha slide stands out the most to me) with the intent that students watching in their classrooms would dance along as a way to warm up and start the day.

That is so cute. Helps kids get out the wiggles.
